Softball Works With Team IMPACT To Sign Local St. Jude Patient

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The University of Memphis softball team and head coach Natalie Poole teamed with Team IMPACT to grant an NLI Wednesday afternoon to 7-year-old Mabry Landstreet, a St. Jude patient and Memphis native. Landstreet was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2014 and has been free of treatments for the last two-and-a-half years.

Through Team IMPACT's program at the University of Memphis, Landstreet will become an official member of the softball team. As a team member, Landstreet will attend Tigers practices, games, team dinners, events, and more. Before Friday's game against UCF, Landstreet will throw out an honorary first pitch.
